UNIX based Internet access account. Provides a means to navigate the Internet by using UNIX commands.
The most powerful type of account. These account types provide access to your servers via FTP, POP3 and, with some plans, SSH. Master Users can transfer files to and from the server, read and send email and log onto the server. All hosting plans come with one Master User account by default. The default Master User account typically has the same name as your domain. For example, if your domain name is "sampledomain.com," your Master User account is most likely "sampledomain." In some cases, such as when your domain name is particularly long, the Master User name may be shortened or may differ slightly from your domain name.
An Internet account that is set up so your local computer can connect to the Internet as a terminal on a multi-user Unix system, allowing you to use normal Unix commands and to store and process information on the host computer.
A login account on our Unix system. It's called a "shell" account since it lets you use the Unix shell, or operating system. A shell account comes with 5 megabytes of disk space on our server, which most people use to put up a web page.
A text-based account on a UNIX machine that allows the user to remotely access files, compile binaries, run programs, and generally do anything that can be done from a desktop computer in text mode.
A type of Internet access account provided by some ISPs. Shell accounts can be accessed by standard telecommunications software, but typically allow only the use of text-based Web browsers such as Lynx. The primary difference between a shell account and a SLIP or PPP account is that with a shell account, the user's computer is essentially acting as a terminal for the host computer, and can thus use only the software installed on the host computer. A SLIP or PPP account, on the other hand, allows the user's computer to connect directly to the Internet and allows the user to utilize whatever software is desired.
a dial-up account to a Unix-based service provider's machine. Using a shell account, you use whatever resources the provider has made available on his or her machine.
A UNIX-based account that allows an indirect, command-line connection to the Internet.
An account with an ISP that allows you to connect directly to the server using telnet or SSH protocols and to execute commands through the shell. Similar to shell access.
The most basic Internet connection that allows a user's computer to establish a dial-up connection with an ISP's computer. The users computer will be able to navigate the Internet, but without the graphics and special effects.
an account with your ISP that allows you to give commands on a computer running Unix
an Internet account in which your computer becomes a terminal of one of your ISP's host computers
an Internet account that lets you give Unix commands
a no-frills text-based account that lets you into all the Internet stuff
a powerful way to use Web Hosting services
a shell account allows a user to log on to a system and use a script language to issue operating system commands (most commonly associated with Unix systems).
An account with an access provider that lets you access a text-based system for performing routine Internet tasks. You connect to a shell account via Telnet or a dial-up terminal emulation program. Some Internet access providers let you put your own w eb pages on their server using a shell account.
Text-based access to the Internet.
A shell account offers access to a UNIX terminal-type environment. By using a telnet or SSH program, one can access their email with a text based email client like Pine, use IRC, read Usenet or edit files with an editor like vi or emacs. The advantage of a shell account is that allows those people who are in an environment where telnet or SSH capability is present to access these or other tools from anywhere on the Internet.

This is an account with your internet service provider that allows you to access the unix command line of the host system.
A Unix-based account on a service provider's computer.
A shell account is a connection that enables an end-user's computer to act as a terminal on an Internet host. In this case, the terminal user is not directly on the Internet, but is using a machine that is. This means that functions such as transferring files require an extra "hop"; users must first transfer the file to the Internet host, then download it through the terminal connection to their desktop.
The most basic type of Internet connection. Lets you use your computer as a UNIX terminal. No web access is available using a shell account however you can still access email, Usenet, FTP and telnet.
When you log into this kind of account, the computer you log into is connected to the Internet, but your computer isn't.
An account that gives access to a UNIX-based host computer. The user can enter UNIX commands to operate this computer.
An arrangement for your computer to access the Internet through the host computer of an access service provider.
An account proving dialup access to the Internet. The user is not provided with graphical web browsers or menu interfaces. All interactions with the Internet service provider's system are executed via UNIX commands.
A text-based account on a Unix machine that allows a web site administrator to remotely access files, compile binaries, run programs etc using Telnet.
Rather than transferring all your HTML files to your PC when editing your web site, you can use a shell account to edit, rename, and delete your HTML files on the server itself. Shell accounts are usually utilized by knowledgeable computer individuals so if you are a novice you probably do not need this feature.
A software application that allows use of another machines' Internet connection. Users do not have a direct Internet connection; instead, an Internet connection is made through a host computer's connection.
Something experienced computer users often request. Permits you to edit your files online in real-time, rather than making changes to your site offline and then uploading the changes. Unless you intend to manage the web server your site runs on, a shell account should not be needed.
A UNIX shell account to their shared server Web site, allows a customers to update their Web site content using Telnet.
A shell account is a personal account that gives a user access to a Unix shell on another machine, usually through ssh (and historically telnet.) With a shell account one can log into a remote server and run commands on it. It is very useful when one wants to try out another operating system, to get more out of IRC for example by running a bot such as Eggdrop, to host an advanced website, or to use some advanced email services.
